This year, a total of 10 pay-per-views, including the Greatest Royal Rumble, have already taken place in the span of 9 months. Some of these these events surpassed their expectations like Hell In A Cell, while some could not produce even two matches worth mentioning, like Backlash.
WWE mostly uses these events to conclude the feuds that have been building-up in Raw and Smackdown. That is why the story lines behind these matches need to make them feel more important.
WWE has booked many endings that do not make sense and ruin the match because all people will remember was how it ended.. Let's look at such match endings which should have been booked properly.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
4. AJ Styles VS Shinsuke Nakamura - Backlash
The feud between AJ Styles and Nakamura was the one in which fans were genuinely invested in. The match between them at Wrestlemania 34 was advertised as a dream match and rightly so. Though it did live up to the expectations at Wrestlemania and in Saudi Arabia, it seems like fans would get what they wanted finally at Backlash in a no-disqualification match.

The feud also attracted more hype than before especially after Nakamura turned heel. But it still did not live up to the hype because of the ending. The match ended in a draw after both men gave low-blows to each other at the same time and because of that could not answer the referee's 10 count.
It is the worst way to end a match between the two as we did not get a clear winner and both were down at the end. Both are good wrestlers but because of that ending, the match became a forgettable one. It happened at Backlash, that is why it received more rage from fans because it is regarded as one of the worst pay-per-views ever.
3. Carmella VS Asuka - Money In The Bank
Asuka was booked to challenge Carmella by Smackdown's General Manager, Paige at Money In The Bank. It seemed like Asuka would finally get a run at the top with Women's Championship. But WWE decided to let Carmella beat Asuka to get her over the fans, which did not happen either. The match itself was not that bad, as it showed what it was supposed to as Asuka was beating the hell out of Carmella from the moment the bell rang.
But, when Asuka was about to win, James Ellsworth came disguised as Asuka herself with her mask and distracted her. Carmella took advantage of that and attacked Asuka from behind before pinning her. This was surely one of the worst ways because James did not even interfere in the match and Asuka lost relatively cleanly.
2. Carmella VS Asuka ~ Extreme Rules
It was a no-brainer to decide that the second match between the two should also become part of this list. Asuka got another chance to beat Carmella for the championship at Extreme Rules but it did nothing more than ruining her reputation even more.
This time, James was suspended above the ring in the shark cage so that he could not interfere in the match. The match started the same way it did at Money In The Bank: with Asuka leading the charge for the most part of the match. When it seemed like Asuka would finally win the match, James came out of the cage with his leg still stuck between the bars.
Asuka started beating him instead of Carmella and Carmella again took the advantage of that by attacking her from behind and hitting Asuka's head on the shark cage and then pinning her.
It did not help anyone as Carmella was just the coward heel and this match made Asuka look dumb and easily distracted.
1. Roman Reigns VS Braun Strowman - Hell In A Cell
This is the most recent match on the list. Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman had their match inside the Hell in a Cell for Universal Championship. The match itself was good as both had a great match before the interference from Drew McIntyre, Ziggler, Rollins and Ambrose, who only added to the charm. Then Brock Lesnar came kicked the cell's door open, and hit both Braun and Roman with the broken table before giving them F-5's. This moment made it one of the more memorable Hell in a Cell matches.
But, after that, the referee decided that both the competitors could not compete because both of them had taken too much beating. It was ridiculous because all Lesnar did was give both of them one F-5 each and the competitors could not take it. This made both the wrestlers look really weak and spoiled an otherwise great pay-per-view.
